e-spool® flex 2.0

Continuous panel feed e-spool® flex 2.0

The e-spool flex 2.0 is the igus version of a cable drum without a slip ring. Cable diameters from 5mm up to 15mm can be used. The cable is always safely routed through a feed-through to ensure that it is properly wound up at all times.

The panel feed e-spool flex 2.0

Tech up

Without interruption (no slip ring) also for energy,
data, fluids and air
Space-saving
Can be fitted universally
Constant tensile strain on the cable
Locking mechanism of the cable

Cost down

Cost-effective
Cost-effective in the case of repair
Simple replacement of the used cable, therefore adaptable
Four configuration levels, adapted to respective customer requirements

Proof

Tested in the igus® laboratory: e-spool® flex pull-out forces compared to a competitors product (cable
diameter: 8mm)

Sustainability

No additional copper components in the system (apart from cable copper)
Parts are reusable
Less raw material required due to part repair instead of total replacement
Have your energy chain recycled as part of the igus "chainge recycling programme" at the end
of its life cycle. Irrespective of the manufacturer. You can receive a chainge recycling programme voucher
igus supports the circular economy of plastics and invests in chemical recycling

White paper: slip ring-free cable reel with screw guide

With a newly developed cable reel for control panels, robot users avoid
"cable tangle" and tripping hazards in automated production. Since the new solution does not use slip rings, media, data and the power and signal supply of the emergency stop button can also be integrated into the system. Download the white paper to find out more.

Four versions planned

Version I: with a hand crank

Version II: using a cordless screwdriver

Version III: with retaining spring
and locking mechanism

Version IV: with retaining spring, locking mechanism
and retraction brake

Technical data

Part No.	Cable diameter	Extension	Required cable length inside the e-spool flex [m]
SPF.250.08.01.*	from 5-8mm	≤15m	4.5m
SPF.250.11.01.*	from 5-8mm	≤10m	3.3m
SPF.250.15.01.*	from 5-8mm	≤5m	2.4m

*Part can be combined with the following drive (H/T/SP/SB):

Drive	Meaning
H	Manual
T	Tool
SP	Spring with position hold
SB	Spring with position hold and break

Total cable length: extension length + cable length e-spool flex + protrusion FP (connection source)
Example SPF.250.11.01.H: total cable length: 10m + 3.3m + 5m (protrusion FP) = 18.3 metres

Structure of the e-spool flex 2.0

Cables or hoses are inserted into the e-spool in a spiral pattern

The e-spool flex in detail from the inside (from left): housing, worm guide, cables/hoses, winding housing

The e-spool flex in detail from the outside (from left): housing, worm guide, cables/hoses, winding housing

Detail: cable/hoses inserted in the worm guide

Extension lengths up to 15m possible

The e-spool flex 2.0 can be used wherever a cable must be moved freely during use and must be stowed away safely and cleanly after use

Tested for e-spool® flex pull-out forces

In its test laboratory, the largest in the industry, igus® compared the e-spool® flex with a competing product. The test evaluated the two products' pull-out forces

The results showed that the e-spool® pull-out forces were about 10 newtons, while those of the competing product were almost twice that

A: e-spool flex
B: Competitor product
C: Pull-out force [N]
D: Pull-out [m]

e-spool in use

Mobile wind machine

e-spool - the alternative to the cable drum from igus is used in an extendable mobile wind machine. The e-spool scores here with significantly more flexibility, because unlike slip rings, cables and hoses for data, compressed air and fluids can also be connected end-to-end in one system and, above all, can be replaced or altered at any time.
